[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 383252, member: 8419"] Gas is similar, the supply pipework (including the shut off valve and the governor) is the responsibility of the gas transporter up to the meter, the meter is the responsibility of whoever company you pay your bills to, and the rest of the internal pipework is down to the property owner. The governor has a wire seal on it too, gas fitters have been known to use the services of the seal fairy to get a bit more gas pressure to save them from replacing undersized gas pipework to the appliances. This is not recommended however, someone can come along later and change the governor, and appliances can give off carbon monoxide if under or over-gassed. Sewers are a bit odd. In London, if a sewer takes waste from more than one property (not including flats in the same property) then due to an agreement made by Thames Water in the seventies I think, it belongs to Thames Water, and they have responsibility for maintenance if it breaks or blocks. I have saved a couple of clients quite a lot of money by pointing this out. [/QUOTE]
